whats the best laptop for hackintosh under 350$?
Processor: Intel: 10th gen or older (anything newer is not supported) AMD: Any Ryzen CPU with integrated graphics up to 7000 series Graphics: 90% of laptops use integrated graphics so as long as it is 10th gen Intel or older or AMD you are fine. But if it is a laptop with a dedicated graphics chip a

Just copped my next daily driver (for DJing, content creation, etc.), the T14 Gen 1! Did I get a good deal?
Lenovo laptops usually come with Samsung PM981 ssd which is incompatible for hackintosh, so you may need to swap it out for a compatible one

Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

I am looking for advice and opinions on this personal project
I’ve hackintoshed this exact same setup so it’ll work fine. Only thing you’ll need to change is the Samsung SSD for a WD Black because I’m guessing it’s a PM981 (very common) which isn’t compatible at all. Just a warning, the kext for graphics doesn’t work with chromium acceleration so Google chrome

Successfully hackintoshed my T480 with a PM981 SSD
After swapping the PM991 ssd with a PM981 I decided to try hackintoshing and it works pretty well. Did the EFI mostly myself but pulled a few things from valonxy’s T480 EFI. The touch screen etc. all work, the only thing that doesn’t is thunderbolt 3 but since I am probably not going to use it I am

Error show when trying to download
If you’re kernel panicking when you start the download it’s likely a compatibility problem with your SSD. Since it’s a Samsung 980 it’s probably incompatible, Samsung NVMes are not supported. Some might work but others like the PM981 are absolutely not supported and despite what a few people who hav

[T480] Finally got the adaptor for the 2230 SSD. Needed some tips
That's fair. My question, asking if it was a Gen4 drive, was based on the fact I only use Gen3 SSDs in these older devices. I have Hynix BC501 for WWAN slots, and normally use Hynix PC711 for full size slots, but have a few OEM Samsung (I think PM981) too. I haven't ran in to any heat problems with

Sequoia on T480s
It runs very smoothly. And I feel your struggle with the NVMe – my T480s came shipped with an incompatible 512G Samsung PM981 NVMe, ordered a 512G WD SN730 a week ago but still didn't arrive so I ended up saying "fuck it" and buying a 1T Kingston NV3 from a local store and this one works like a char
